Working with @YF_Foundation we're calling for a reform of the existing #ApprenticeshipLevy to enhance employer investment in skills & boost opportunities for young people to secure #apprenticeships that lead to quality employment. 🧡 Download the report: ow.ly/Vxf850SjOKE

Investment in #skillsdevelopment is seen by #Anthropists as essential to equip the workforce with the abilities and knowledge needed to excel in today’s rapidly changing job market. Interesting to see the insights in this report from @CIPD and @YF_Foundation
A new report from CIPD and YFF sheds light on the need to prioritise apprenticeships for young people, and reevaluate the skills levy to enhance training opportunities across various industries. Further insights can be accessed here: cipd.org/uk/knowledge/report…

It may not have hit the headlines, but last week’s official labour market stats suggests the number of young people not in employment, full-time education or training (NEET), is at its highest level in almost a decade (since winter 2014/15). 1/3

Today's net migration figure (685,000) is for 2023, before rules around salary thresholds and dependants were changed. But visa data for this year suggest net migration will be lower in 2024 👇
April stats from the Home Office show applications from main applicants for non-health/care work visas rose sharply, most likely before salary thresholds were increased from £26.2k to £38.7k.
